England’s largest NHS Trust chooses radiology IT and VNA solutions from Sectra

Barts Health NHS Trust in London has awarded the IT and medical technology
company Sectra (http://www.sectra.com/) (STO: SECT B) a ten-year contract to
supply radiology IT and Vendor Neutral Archiving (VNA) solutions in its aim to
consolidate resources.
Bart’s Health NHS Trust consists of six hospitals delivering care services to
2.5 million people in East London. Barts Health chose Sectra’s solution to
facilitate a more efficient image-handling workflow throughout the Trust’s
hospitals and enable cost-savings through the sharing of resources.

The contract comprises Sectra’s IT solution for the management of radiology
images (Sectra PACS) including integration of the various radiology information
systems used across the Trust’s hospitals, and Sectra Open Archive, a cost
-efficient VNA solution for long-term storage of images. It connects any DICOM
-compliant image storage system thus providing the infrastructure for efficient
workflows across enterprises.

With Sectra PACS, the Trust will benefit from the ability to transparently and
securely access images and patient information from any of Barts Health hospital
sites and also other Sectra PACS users in London, such as The Barking, Havering
and Redbridge University Hospital

kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Sectra DoseTrack automatically
collects, stores, and monitors data from all connected modalities and provides
automatic alerts when radiation levels exceed established thresholds.
